Taxing Printing Offices.

The LEADER mentioned the fact
short time ago thai the Board Of
Supervisors of Rankin county had
caused the printing materials of the
Brandon Republican TO be assessed,
and that Col. Frantz had sued on,
An injunction to prevent Sheriff
Dobson from collecting the taxes on
same by distress and sale, claiming
that the statute which exempts
the tools of a mechanic from taxa
ton applies 10 the materials Of
newpaper publisher. The case was
tried before Chancellor Graham and
the Injunction dissolved. Col,
Frantz then appealed to the Su,
preme Court, and last Monday that
tribunal affirmed the decision of
The Chancellor, holding that the
same statute which applies TO
mechanics tools does not apply to
the materials of a printing office.
We commend the decision as found
ed on both law and justice.

EXPERIENCE WITH A MODEL.
An Incident Told by metropolitan
Arfist-Cood ReDutatjon.

An Incident Told by Metropolitan
Artist-Good Reputation.
Ny artist friend told me an interesting
story Of an experience he had with woman,
now a celebrated model, when she first posed
in studio. She dropped In upon him. saying
that she had been counter girl in O'Neil's, a
shopping store, at about IS a week, and could
not make both ends meet; that lady friend
who was model had spoken Of him as gen.
tleman, and that If he needed subject she
would like him to tell her what to do He
told her what she would have to accustom
herself to if she followed that life, but she
said she knew all about it. He pointed to q
screen and babe her go behind it and take of
her things. Presently she reappeared, but In
little more undress than If she were about to
retire. Informed that TINS was not what was
wanted, she disappeared and next revealed
herself in complete undress, but with her
back to the artist.
Here was an extraordinarily beautiful
form, and as be made sketch Of her figure
he debated with himself how he should deal
with her, He resolved to be wholly business
like, and so, walking over to where she stood,
he babe her turn around and posed her as he
wished her to stand By the time he reached
his easel she was bent double and indulgipg in
fit of crying blended with almost hysterical
laughter. He told her it was quite evident
that she had better give up her ambition and
return to her former life, and he supposed
she would But she did not She is now one
Of the most noted and priced models in town
She remains perfectly good girl, but Is not
averse to sitting entirely disrobed and smok-
ing cigarette while curled up like Turk on
lounge waiting for her employer to begin
work
The most popular model now, however, is q
former model who has been married and had
several children, and has at last been obliged
TO return TO the old life IN order to support
her husband. Models in good demand make
SIS week A most curious fact that my in
forInant says has been noticed among artists
Is that members of the demi monde cannot be
got TO pose as models Il would be inferred
from that that the most utter shamelessness
is found in those who do that work, and yet
very uany-jn fact, all who have a modicum
Of brains-sre good women who lead orderly
lives and keep admirable homes.-Julian

THE bob VEAL" TRADE.
How the Trafic Is Conducted in the
Vicinity of New York.

How the Trandc Is Conducted in the
Vicinity of New York.
| March and April are the busiest months OF
the season in the bob veal and jerked beef
traffic, During these months the calf butch
srs, so called, swarm throughout the dairy
districts, collecting Of the farmers their green
calves, seldom more than twenty-four hours
| Did, and their skinny, worn out and tottering
COWS, that are past giving milk on account OF
old age, or OF the exhaustion and decrepitude
brought on by stimulating and unwholeseme
feeds. Green calves weigh forty to fifty
pounds each, and cost the butcher 81 to $I5O,
while for the bony wrecks OF the dairy be
pays S. TO $40 apiece, according TO the ami
mails condition.
In pursuing the traffic each calf butcher
has his territory, through which he makes
regular semi weekly rounds during the calv-
ing season. or from February / to June 1.
This part of the business is carried on in all
Of the dairy districts within $50 miles of New
York, without any attempt at concealment
by the tra.fckers, or any interference by the
local authorities
Concerning the extent Of the traffic, it may
be stated that in the height Of the season FROM
seven to ten meat cars are run into Jersey
Clty every nlghr, each car loaded WIN several
tons Of the unwholesome meat. Occasionally
car load or wagon load is seized and de-
stroyed by The health officers, but the business
pays 50 well in the long run that the butcher
Or the city dealer can lose one shipment out
Of three and still net u handsome profit from
the traffic.
The principal customers for this class OF
meats are the sausagemakers, the canning
factories, the cheap restaurants and the butch
ers in the poorer quarters Of the city. Large
quantities of the veal are packed and sold as
canned chicken, and it is also largely used in
making Frankfurters. The beef finds its way
upon the food market in the form of canned
corned beef and Bologna sausage, and Of the
soups, rossts, and steaks of cheap restaurants
Most of the stuff thus palmed off upon the
public is shockingly unfit for human food and
certain to breed disease wherever freely con-
sumed.-New York Sun.
